The annual week-long programming series is  made possible through funding by the Fred L. Emerson Foundation. It is part of a year-round partnership between Al Sigl Community of Agencies, WXXI, and The Golisano Foundation called Move to Include. In 2019, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting funded the expansion of Move to Include to five additional public media stations around the nation.
